Na Yeon: United States: UCLA: Jun 01, 2018

I am a recent graduate from UCLA, with a major in Fine Arts and minor in Film, TV, and Digital Media and am looking for a work environment where I can utilize my interest in education. Having grown up going to many different test prep centers and being a tutor myself, I realize the importance of being a good educator and what kind of difference it can bring to students' lives.

Working as the Social Media Coordinator for UCLA Grand Challenges, I worked primarily with creating original content for our partners in mental health in partnership with notable celebrities such as Metta World Peace and Glenn Close. As the Grand Challenges branch of UCLA was relatively new, I often wrestled with creating new efficient brand strategies that would convey the message of our brand and increase awareness to our growing audience. During my year at Grand Challenges, we saw a growth of 160% in our number of followers and a significant increase in our engagement as we participated in different media campaigns. This was an extremely fast-paced environment as we were trying to expand our growth as quickly as possible and in order to be successful, we had to constantly be shifting with the trends. From this position, I was able to hone in on my ability to think quickly and react accordingly as well as stretch my breadth of responsibility.

With my experience, I believe that I would be a good asset to GLOII, as well as being proficient and familiar with the skills and experience needed for students as well as the university process itself to be accepted to high-ranking colleges in the US.
